Abstract

Diabetic foot complications are a prevalent and serious consequence of diabetes mellitus, often necessitating complex clinical decisions. Among these decisions, the choice between amputation and revascularization in patients with diabetic foot poses a significant clinical dilemma. This article provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, significance, definition, risk factors, complications, and management options associated with amputation and revascularization in diabetic foot patients. The discussion evaluates the factors influencing the choice between these two interventions and explores their respective outcomes. Ultimately, this review underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, patient-centered care, and shared decision-making in addressing this challenging clinical scenario.
